"I wasn't super impressed with this one. The story was ~good~ but the acting wasn't always convincing, and sometimes the dialogue was too preachy. I understand it's a faith movie so they want to make their message clear, but I prefer when they let the viewer come to these realizations and just nudge us in the right direction. Still an enjoyable full circle story though, 6/10🗡️"
"This movie is straight up bad. Bad writing. Bad cinematography. Bad acting. Oh, and it's one big Christian propaganda piece. I hate these movies because the characters are always contradictory to what the teachings are in religious texts, and the filmmaking is super lazy. There are great movies about Christianity, like Scorsese's Silence and Passion of the Christ, but this movie ain't it. "

"Surprised to say I enjoyed this film.
On the surface this is a Christian propaganda movie with bad acting that makes you cringe a bit and sometimes even makes you laugh. This movie kinda reminds me of those videos on TikTok like the sales man treating a customer poorly just to find out it was the boss. Although, this probably isn’t a kind of movie most film watchers would go out there way to watch, I’m glad I did even if it was a bit cringy. But what really won me over was my connection to Isaiah, and the message of the film. First movie to actually make me full on cry."

"2024. Drew me in right away. Recommend! Well, if you can get past all the sermons… Filmed in Albany, GA. A faith-based movie, which I am not religious, so I wasn’t so much into that as I was the overall message, which was inspiring. I came in blind on this one. I typically try to steer clear of any type of hardcore religious or political movies. "
